Well, I mean, because ...
Okay, I got nothing.
Makes sense. There may be a sense of dislocation for people who want to talk about going to see the movie (as opposed to having seen it), but it does make sense.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How about, as a compromise for the main FF thread, two weeks of no spoilery movie talk, and then all-black-font-anything-goes?
For those two weeks, movie talk goes in the spoiler thread.

Two weeks after US release or two weeks after international release? I've seen the movie, so don't really mind one way or the other, but if I hadn't, I might. I unsubbed from Spoilers until I'd seen it, but I still wanted to talk about the show, so it was nice to have the main thread to do that.

For clarity, let's say Blackfont beginning on Oct. 17. Nothing in the main thread prior to that date. That gives (most) folks two or three weekends to see it.

There isn't one date for the international release -- an arbitrary date like Jon suggests looks like a good idea.

This sounds good to me. Nothing's going to be perfect, and we have had NAFDA rules in place for a while. We whitefonted in the LOTR threads until at least two weeks after the movies came out, right? And if we'd bothered to create a LOTR spoilers thread, the above probably would have been the course.

I'm way behind in the main FF thread. Can someone post that we're having this discussion here?

What is even happening?
Release Info. It premiered in the UK a month ago.
Oh, good. I thought UK people who'd seen it were just seeing sneak previews, like the US people who'd seen it. From the release info link, there's this info for Israel:
Israel October 2005 (Icon Film Festival)
Nilly, if/when you come around, does the above mean you'll be able to see it soonish?

What is even happening?
Would repurposing Spoilers for the film, and restricting the regular Firefly thread to TV/DVD only talk not work?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
It would work for me.
